The Famous Gold Revolver

When Venezuelan officials come to Pawnee in “Sister City” (S02E05), the Venezuelan General presents Leslie Knope with a gold plated, engraved Smith & Wesson Model 15 with ivory grips. It is said to be a replica of the gun Hugo Chavez used to start the Venezuelan Revolution. Ron Swanson says that although he completely disapproves of the Venezuelan government, he very much likes the gun they gave the city, which he excitedly practices aiming.
